Welcome back to another heart-centered episode of The Devoted Way podcast. Today, I’m inviting you into a deeply personal and, yes, humorous journey as I reflect on an experience that many of us eventually face—my very first colonoscopy. As someone who loves holding space for others, this new experience reminded me that even the most routine procedures can stir up a lot of emotions. In this episode, I’ll share how I navigated the preparation, calmed my nerves, and turned what could have been an intimidating process into an opportunity for deeper healing. Whether you're preparing for your own firsts or exploring ways to bring more ease into life's unknowns, this episode offers reflections, humor, and insights on how we can transform fear into curiosity and love.
We’ll also dive into how these everyday moments—however vulnerable—can create a framework for our spiritual and healing work. Let's walk together through this cycle of initiation, and maybe you'll even feel inspired to create your own healing framework for your business or life.
